Shri Yamunaji – Mother of Pushti Jeev

When God decided to take avtaar in earth, at that time He ordered to
create all Nikunjlilas of Golokdham in Vraj. That’s why with all divine
powers Shri Yamunaji descended to the earth in the form of consort
of Lord and also as a flowing river. Shri Yamunaji is the fourth wife of
Shri Thakorji. As Shri Yamunaji descended through Kalind mountain
she is also called as Kalindiji.

Shri Yamunaji appeared on earth on the 6th day of Bright moon of
Chaitra month.

As Shri Yamunaji’s is very divine, Her river form is also of great
importance. Lot of Vaishnavs visit more prominently in Vraj,
both at Vishram Ghat, Mathura and Thakurani Ghat, Gokul, to
partake the divine water and also do pujan of Maharani Maa.
Also offering milk to Shri Yamunaji river has a lot of importance.
As Shri Yamunaji is sister of Yama, Dev of Death, taking bath on
Bhaibeej day has lot of importance too.

For Devotees, to have Shri Yamunaji as a Divine mother is a matter of Pride. Principally, Lord Shri Krushna and Shri Yamunaji is one Form only, that means Shri Yamunaji possesses all qualities of Lord Shri Krushna. A devotee, who worships Shri Yamunaji with a pure Bhav (love/affection) will easily get God’s Grace.

Shri Yamunaji can grant us eight types of attainment, hence our  mind should meditate for Shri Yamunaji, and we should do Darshan of Shri Yamunaji with love and affection. Shri Mahaprabhuji has composed Shri Yamunashtak, in which He has illustrated Shri Yamunaji’s divine form, qualities and marvelous lilas.
